Has anyone switched to synthetic motor oil in their 8.3 and ran it for some time? Did it work out well? Do you have to use special synthetic oil for a Diesel engine? Can anyone think of any reasons not to switch?

My new 931a2 was delivered today. I have a 923a2 so I know pretty much what I am doing but am definitely no expert. The air pressure builds to around 115psi and it builds a little slower than my 923. I like to run at 120-125 the ctis seems to like this range it won't start filling till around...

I just won an M923a2 out of New Castle. It is running and driving in the video but it looks like it is low on fuel. I can't get down there till the week after next I am taking the kiddies to Disney. I was wondering if anyone would be out that way and could check it out for me see if it needs...

Has anyone used aftermarket shock absorbers and if so what were your experiences with them? What kinds were tried and did they make the ride a little less bouncy? thanks Will

When driving the m939 5ton you can definetly feel the torque converter unlock and lock when coming to a stop and speeding up. It is smoother if the engine idle is set above 500 rpms. Sometimes when coming to a stop I get a little buck as it takes a second for the converter to disengage. I can...

When I engage the park brake and shut off my M923A2 I get a loud groan it sounds like air releasing. It is not the same as the ctis blowoff sound when the system decides the tires are at pressure. Is this sound normal everything seems to be working as it should Thanks Will

I have an interesting one for you guys. I have a pressure sensor on my m923a2 upper air tank that is leaking air. I heard a little hiss with the truck off so I got out the windex and started hunting. I found a very small air leak from this pressure switch. It is not leaking around the threads it...

Hi all I am in the process of installing reverse lights in my 923. I got the allison reverse pressure switch part 29503665. On the passenger side of the trans there is a port for the switch there is a bolt in its place. When the bolt is removed with the vehicle cold no fluid came out and the...

On my M923 I have the side battery box installed already they put it on at rrad during rebuild. I have the battery boxes and a bunch of 0ga wire and 2 big buss bars like I see in other posts pics. I have searched previous posts and I have a copy of the install manual. My question is I see the...

Has anyone changed their steering wheel for something slightly smaller? Would anyone have any reason not to change out the steering wheel for a smaller one? Are the m35a3 wheels smaller? And if so will they bolt up? Will

I have a m923a2 the ctis was working. It started flashing all 5 lights. The left front tire is low. I hear some hissing from under the passenger dash area with the truck off I looked and couldnt find where though it is elusive. When I press the highway button you can hear a valve open and a...

Hi all I have a seat on a pallet in San Antonio at a business location it needs to come o Stratford CT. Both locations will not need a lift gate. Anyone heading this way please let me know. Will

I have been looking for a tarp & bow set for a 923 I found one online. It is a 14ft set but it comes with 7 bows and I thought the 5ton kits came with 6. I was able to match the nsn's for the parts online and I believe they are the same as from the 5ton kits but there is no nsn for the tarp or...

I just won a m923a2 truck in running/driving condition. I will make a bank wire payment to GL later today. As soon as I receive notice of payment clearing I need to have it picked up and hauled to Stratford, CT. I would prefer someone with ramps so I do not have to get a crane at both ends. I do...

Does anyone know if 2 923 trucks running with no bows and tarp can be loaded together on one trailer? Do most trailers have drive on ramps or do they have to be lifted on with a crane? Thanks Will

I have searched posts and vids there is a bunch of deuce fording info but I really can't find anything on 5tons. I found one video of a tractor pulling a jeep from a shallow swamp and a few in mud pits. I see a lot of the 800 series trucks have the fording kit but it appears to be a rare...

I am looking for someone to check out a few trucks for me before I bid. I know it's not a staffed location so I don't know how feasible it is for this. I can pay for the service with paypal. Thanks Will

Does anyone have any experience with the GL Sparta location? Any info on loading help for a 5ton there would be appreciated. Im pretty far away and new to this. Thanks, Will
